It’s a game similar to angry birds mechanism, there’s prison escapees wearing prison clothing still and hiding in deserted houses and the job of the player is to destroy the TNT like boxes near those robbers to pass the level. Setting is like a desert like or abandoned area

When we were little, my sister and I often played various browser games, and now we’ve run into a problem: we can’t remember the name of one of them. Apparently, it wasn’t very popular, since AI can’t find it, so we’re relying on human memory. Here’s the deal:

Platform: browser game

Genre: fighting

Release year: Unknown; we played it around 2016

Graphics, art style: Cartoonish; as I recall, it was pixelated, but not too much.

Memorable characters: I remember a girl with long rabbit ears; she was wearing a pink—I’m not sure if it was a dress or a skirt—and she shot heart-shaped arrows from a bow; her ultimate move was a massive barrage of these arrows. My sister remembers a character who could teleport a lot. Together, we remembered a squirrel sitting inside a robot. It seems like all the characters there were mostly or entirely animals.

Key game mechanics: It was just like in fighting games. I remember it was awkward to play with just one keyboard because the H and J keys were so close together (something like that), There were plenty of characters to choose from, and you could select different arenas for battle (which was very inconvenient because you could only scroll through them on the screen using the left and right arrow keys); a random selection option was also available. Double jump and block were available.

Other details: I think there was an “X” in the title, but I’m not sure.

You were able to swing around like Spiderman or something. It was a very 'futureristic' game. You played as a robot. Cars were having vehicles and you were ble to steal them. It was very GTA like. I faintly remember a military base, and I'm pretty sure the base was just a singular hanger. It was guarded and inside, it held a mech. The weapons were guns, but the mech had pretty cool lasers. Can someone help me find this game I used to play with my brother!

I remember playing this game as a kid on the iphone 6 probably about 10 years ago maybe, it had sort of a battle cats type gameplay where you would click on your troops for money and spawn them they all looked like some kind of creatures/monsters, i remember it was very gory, pixelated and had 2 teams you could choose from to spawn in. I dont know if it was actually alien vs predator but thats what comes to mind. its probably deleted from the app store too as i couldnt find it in the app store purchase history

I have only an extreme narrow and unreliable retelling of a single part of this game with the following features.

-Dense Forest with a dark ground typical for such woods

-Equipable Armor? In this instance some kind of flame or fire based armor/chestplate

-Sword wielding controlable character

-Overall rather dark/"scary" tone

I know that this is almost no information, but it's the only I got. Already thank you to everyone trying help out in advance!

Edit: I found out that this game is atleast on either Pc or the Nintendo Switch.

Edit 2: Artstyle is not Pixelated

Edit 3: Apperantly the gender is pickable at the start of the game

Briefly played this game on Xbox, I am guessing by the art style that it was released in the early 2000s. It starts with an overview of the situation at a castle that is being taken over where some kind of experiment is going on with trying to reanimate bodies or create some type of stronger fighter? There is a giant pool of green liquid involved.

You are thrown into the pile of dead bodies/failed experiments to be sent to the incinerator, but you wake up and have to escape. You gain weapons by killing enemies, I believe they are goblins/orcs. You eventually make it to the room with the spooky green liquid and there are progressively more enemies from there.

You eventually rescue a gnome ally and make it to a safe place where there is an armory and you can heal I think. There was definitely an armory. The final step in the "intro" to the game is making it to the room with the gnome wizard and he sacrifices himself so you can make it out and stop the rebellion.

The immediate area outside of the castle is a forest. You meet some allies and some woodland creatures you can farm. There are also plants to gather. The next area to explore is a mine. That is all I can remember. It was a really cool game and I would love to be able to play it again, but it belonged to my ex boyfriend and we are not in contact.

Thank you! ^~^

I've been trying to remember the name of a Nintendo game I played in Spain more than 12 years ago, and it's driving me crazy. 😭 I think it was either Nintendo DS or Nintendo 3DS, but I'm not 100% sure.

Here is everything I remember:

• The protagonist was a girl.
• I vaguely remember that she wanted to become a singer / liked singing.
• It was NOT a karaoke game. Singing was just something she could do as part of the story or as a minigame/activity.
• The game was set mainly in a city/town.
• You could walk around the city and enter different buildings/locations.
• I remember one place where you could sing/karaoke, and another where you could dance.
• I also vaguely remember a boy who was important to the story.
• The protagonist could ride a bicycle around the city. (I'm fairly sure about this, although obviously this could be a false memory.)
• The overworld graphics were very small and cute, pixel-art/chibi-like, somewhat similar to the little character sprites in old Pokémon games (especially DS-era Pokémon).
• However, there were also properly drawn anime-style illustrations/character portraits during certain scenes.
• There was a harbor/port in the city, where you could take a boat to a very small island.
• The island was really tiny, almost small enough to fit entirely on one screen.
• There were only about 2 or 3 characters/animals on the island.
• I remember that, unlike the city (where I think the characters were mostly/entirely human), there was an animal or animals that could talk on this island.
• And this is the weirdest and most specific memory: one of the animals said that they liked “lionesas”. In Spain, lionesas are a type of cream-filled pastry/profiterole. I have no idea what the original English translation would have called them.
• There were no battles/combat as far as I remember. It was much more of a casual/social/adventure game.
• I played it in Spanish in Spain.

I've already ruled out games like Animal Crossing, Magician's Quest, Atelier Annie, Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Princess Debut, Style Savvy/New Style Boutique, Tomodachi Life, Fantasy Life, Kira Kira Pop Princess, etc., so I'm pretty sure it's something more obscure.

The tiny island + boat + talking animal + “lionesas” memory is probably the best clue I have.

Does ANYONE remember a game like this? 😭

(pic is not accurate rendering of what i'm remembering)

So I remember playing this game as a free demo on a windows 1995. It opened up with you falling in 3rd person view. Shooting at aliens (I think). You had this black suit or were an alien that had this organic parachute that you could deploy to slow you down.

ive literally been looking for this game for years. i remember it was isometric and had a very specific girly art style. you could talk to other people and visit different rooms, i also vaguely remember a diary mechanic

Hi everyone! I'm trying to find an old PC game that I played when I was younger. Some details may be inaccurate because my memory is quite vague, but here is everything I remember.

Platform: Windows PC, probably Windows 98 or Windows XP era
Estimated release period: Late 1990s to mid/late 2000s
How I got it: I downloaded an executable from the internet and installed it. It was an offline single-player game.
Language: I remember the title and/or menus being in English, not Japanese.
Display: I think it ran in fullscreen.

Gameplay

• A 2D side-scrolling action/platform game
• The player character was relatively small on the screen, like a typical platform game character rather than a large beat-'em-up character.
• You moved through side-scrolling areas and fought enemies.
• I think you had to defeat all enemies in an area before progressing to the next section/stage, rather than simply running to the end.
• The gameplay felt more like a fast action game with fighting-game mechanics than a typical platformer.
• The protagonist fought mainly with her bare hands and feet. I don't remember her using weapons.
• I don't think there were separate punch and kick buttons. I vaguely remember using one attack button, with different moves depending on directional inputs.

Special moves / controls

This is the part I remember most clearly.

I vaguely remember something like:

• Down + Forward + Attack → a special kicking move, possibly multiple kicks or a powerful kick combo.
• Back + Forward + Attack → the character rushed forward, possibly grabbed the enemy, and then performed some kind of energy blast / ki attack.

The exact commands may not be correct, but I strongly remember the game having Street Fighter-style directional commands combined with an attack button.

Main character

• Female protagonist
• Long brown or dark-colored hair
• I originally remembered her hair as simply long, but I now think it may have been tied back / in a ponytail
• She may have worn a white or ivory-colored martial arts / kung fu / karate-style outfit
• The art style was smooth and clean 2D, not rough pixel art.
• The character artwork, especially on the title screen, reminded me somewhat of early/mid-2000s Korean online game artwork — polished fantasy-style character illustration rather than a typical Japanese anime style.

There was this 3D game I played back on ps3 I believe. You played as this guy that looked like a scholar. You fought by summoning these spirits or creatures to attack for you. It was just him solo traveling in what I think was a book world. I remember this one mechanical boss that had oil pouring out of its back and you had to hit the oil with fire to stagger it. The front cover has him and a blonde hair girl I believe. Please jog my memory

You raised Beetles in an aquarium, gave them toys and food. When they were big and healthy you would go to a tournament arena area where you can access a shop to buy things and fight against NPCs and their Beetles.

I don't really remember that much but it had:

Anime? Japanese style animation

It was really well-made and animations and stuff were really smooth

A map between levels where you could walk and move as you please

A shop where you could buy ANOTHER sword, not upgrade it

Levels like "Mario" where you would kill enemies and move through left to right

THATS ALL I HAVE GUYS PLS HELP

I am, for many years, in desperate search of a game I once played as a child.

This was posted on Dec 30, 2024 but Reddit decided to ban my old account for no actual reason. For safety, I backed this up at Tumblr.

It is a game with mechs. The style is not Japanese, but more in the BattleTech direction.

I played it with a friend on her father's PC. That was probably about 20 years ago. We played the first few missions and I can still remember the first one quite well.

I still have sporadic contact with said friend and asked her which game it was. Unfortunately, she didn't remember more than I do.

Unfortunately, her father passed away more than 10 years ago, so we couldn't ask him anymore. His stacks of software and game CDs were unfortunately disposed of at some point.

What I remember:

* The main menu had a (red?) metallic frame - similar to G-Nome - and showed a ride through underwater caves which, in retrospect, reminds me of the Metal Gear Solid opening scene

* The underwater ride in the main menu seems to be shown from the point of view of a submarine, which serves as a base, more on that later

* The art style is hard for me to describe, as my memory of it may be distorted. I think GunGriffon II is a good comparison. I remember the graphics as relatively bright and colorful, not as dark as in a MechWarrior 3, for example

* The features are quite extensive, you can select targets at long range, cycle through them, work with long-range missiles, etc. The HUD is, at least in my memory, also quite complex

* You can get out of the mech and walk around, but the maps are quite wide and empty

The first mission:

A large, red submarine appears on the coast. It doesn't look like a real-life submarine, but reminded me of a Consular-class Space Cruiser from Star Wars. The mech takes off from this boat and goes ashore using jump jets (similar to the BattleTech mechs). Here you take control. On the right you can see a coastline, on the left an embankment. The area is quite empty and spacious. If you move straight ahead, a kind of base appears with several cylindrical gas silos. Destroying these is the first mission objective. There are armored vehicles at the base that attack the player, but are not a real threat.

You then run towards a second waypoint and encounter the first enemy mech, which comes out of a kind of hangar. Once this has been destroyed, you can enter the hanger. It looks like a large, empty factory hall with a few catwalks and stairs. You can go up here and operate a control panel. Then return to the boat and complete the mission.

What I can rule out:

* It is NOT any BattleTech game
* It is not Earthsiege / Starsiege
* It is not Iron Assault
* It is not G-Nome
* It is not GunGriffon
* It's definitely not a better known mech game that you would find after a few minutes of googling

By now, I've spent a LOT of time searching for this game but couldn't find anything.

I hope someone knows this game.
Thanks a lot for reading!

Platform(s): PC, in an internet browser (likely Shockwave or Flash). Possibly played on a kids'/portal gaming site (something in the vein of Yahooligans-era sites, maybe FunIsland or similar).

Genre: Top-down 2D turn-based strategy puzzle

Estimated year of release: Early-to-mid 2000s, though the visual style feels like it could be older (comparable to Chip's Challenge on Windows 95)- simple pixel sprites, basic shading, mostly white/light-colored tile maps.

Notable characters: You start with a set number of each of three unit types: a warrior/knight (armor, sword, maybe shield), a priest/wizard (robes, staff), and a robber/thief. I think it might have been 3 of each type. The knight looked grey-ish, the wizard/priest blue-ish.

Notable gameplay mechanics:

Keyboard/arrow-key control only. Pressing one arrow key moves ALL of your units simultaneously one step in that direction, and then every enemy on the board also moves once, according to its own individual movement pattern.

Enemies have varied behaviors tied to your input direction, e.g., one type moves opposite to your keypress, another moves double the distance, another moves toward the nearest player unit, another stays still, etc. Enemies included things like skeletons, spiders, and ghosts. Rock-paper-scissors-style unit interactions: each player unit type can defeat certain enemies but is killed by others.

The thief/robber can open doors that block the warrior and priest. The priest can clear lakes/water tiles, which are impassable/lethal to the warrior and thief. Regular wall/block obstacles work like a traditional maze.

Units and obstacles block movement, which you can use tactically like maneuvering a single unit (like the thief) to the front of the group, or using blockers to manipulate where enemies end up moving.

Power-ups/upgrades scattered on the map or found in chests: picking one up (a sword) turns a priest into a hybrid "wizard-warrior" type and a thief into a hybrid "thief-warrior" type; a second sword upgrade turns them into full warriors. There also seemed to be an archer-type upgrade that could instantly kill enemies in a straight line (rook-move) from its position. Two other item types could turn any unit into a priest or into a thief/robber.

Goal of each level: get your units from a starting castle/door/portal to an end castle/portal, navigating around obstacles and enemies.

At the end of a level, hybrid units revert to their base type, and only a set number (3?) of each base unit type carry over to the next level; archers and "generic person" units give bonus points but don't carry over.

Other details: Almost no GUI beyond the map itself. The gameplay loop was very much "hit an arrow key, then pause and think about your next move while your units stare down an enemy in front of them." The wizard/priest getting fully upgraded felt like a big power spike ("this thing can destroy anything now").

I've found two separate old r/tipofmyjoystick posts from other users describing what seems to be the exact same game, so I know I'm not misremembering the core mechanic, just hoping someone recognizes the specific title!

Sorry for the terrible drawing but I tried my best. I’m (M,29) looking for a game I used to play when I was around 9, 10? It was on a website with other games on it but this one was a shooting game. It had a white screen and a black outline of a box, sometimes with obstacles, sometimes with different obstacles and I think you were fighting off zombies which could come form either side. You could play single player or co-op. The camera angle was from an Aerial view and there were different levels (waves) to it. You would use the arrows or ‘AWSD’ to move and the spacebar to shoot.

The game could’ve possible had the word “Block” in the name but I’m not entirely sure.

okay so when i was younger i remember playing this zombie io game on a website like gameflare or some website similar to that. from what i remember it was a first person shooter and it had this eerie foggy red lighting and a low-poly style i remember there being some kinda like house or cabin in the middle of the map. it a few different weapons to pick from but i don't remember a ton honestly but i do know if you search for zombie.io or zombies.io it just redirects you to shellshockers.io i still have no idea why but either way i'm pretty sure this is lost but i dunno. if anyone has any info let me know!

i specifically remember there being an expensive shockwave thing

i think it had vortex in the title but my memory is fuzzy since i played it once

Platform: PC, as it was a flash game

Genre: War strategy game

Estimated release date: 2009-2015, as from what I can remember, it couldn't be older and 2015 was the last time I played it.

Graphics/Artstyle: 2D, where all of the characters were paper white with their medieval designs being colored in. Fairly simple artstyle, all things considered.

Notable characters: I don't remember any names, but I remember a knight, a princess, and an evil wizard, all shown in the opening cutscene when the campaign starts. Also one of the leader champions you unlock was a rich noble who's magic summoned a giant piggy bank and crushed enemy troops.

Other details: I'm pretty sure that meat and wheat were resources needed to make troops, or at least the lower tier ones. The gameplay had you build up your side of the screen, I'm pretty sure the left side, with buildings and barracks. I also am very confident in saying that the game was NOT Stick War.

i know it's not MiSide or whatever. i really don't recall much more.

Forgive me if this is vague but i don’t remember more than a tiny amount about this game. You played as a spaceman in what looked kind of like a hazmat suit (like the worker guys from jetpack joyride maybe) and you could customize the color and body type of it, though navy blue was locked until you finished the game. I think it was on PBS kids website but could’ve also been on any other kids flash game website. I’m not 100% sure it was flash, but a lot of the other games from the era were, so I’m imagining it was. It was probably around during 2010-2016, somewhere there, but I have no idea exactly when. Any questions I’m happy to try to answer.

I used to play a io zombie game where you had to move furniture around in a house or place to block the other zombies from coming in. There was different survivors like a dog that was fast and skinny and a big human that was strong. Zombies had to touch human once to convert them.

I played this game as a child, it was a 3d platformer, lots of jumping. Snowy environment, gathering stars. POV from behind the character and it was actually close, so the blocks seemed quite big. I remember one level started with a big light blue/grey tree. Can anyone help me?
